   I look at this differently. On-prem proponents always fail to account for hard problems they absolutely have to solve, like tamper protected access logs, centralized server access controls, replacing failed hardware, backups, secure network

   >Backups are not hard either. I guess you never setup one, because I’ve see numerous attempts at this and none took less than a month to do.

   Setting up a db with backups, PITR, periodic backup tests in 30 minutes? You made my day :) Also how about controlling who has access to servers, tamper protected activity logs? It is just scratching the surface.

   AWS IO is very good considering EVS is a networked drive. NVME is available if you need it too.

   My comment mostly relates to this > Also with lambdalith you probably end up needing an application framework as opposed to just using mostly vanilla features of your language of choice. The point I make is even with lambda per endpoint

   I disagree, it is much much more likely that a former dev would leak a SSH key than someone would care to find an SQL injection.

   Your devs would need one such VM each for testing. It at least you’ll need 2 VMs - staging and production.

   Just thinking about bitcoin utility. Could it be wise for a country to hold it reserves in Bitcoin. Just in case other country tries to freeze its holding.

   I think you oversimplify a lot and miss many real world things that a Google sized org has to deal with. Machine maintenance - someone has to coordinate updates across multiple data centers run by different organizations. Imagine you want t

    I don't see how I can use a local machine to demo a feature to my PM.

    SSH keys, security updates, monitoring, access controls just to name a few. How do you stop a former employee from running a bitcoin miner in your servers? How do you detect that hacker has got access to your server?

    I don’t buy this. From the top of my head I can think of many things not handled by the Lambda runtime: session cookies, routes with ids in them like /author/15/posts, having to specify Content-Type for responses, generating

    Scales to zero means you can span as many environments as you want and don’t bother. Every dev can have multiple environments to demo features and do experiments.

    Why not 1 ALB in front of a Lambda with a router inside it?

    This is not correct. If I send money to a random dev in Russia I don’t break any law. But I simply cannot do this because it is technically impossible. Crypto is tech that makes it possible.

    One country recently seized 300B of funds of another country. Not necessarily a bad thing but still…

    I’m not expert in Svelte or React and have been following your conversation. You stress the point that two-way data binding creates mess. I tend to agree since I did my share of desktop programming long time ago. However, I don’t see how Re

    AFAIK if there is a binary replication between two instances then you cannot upgrade without downtime.

    Most of production EBS volumes will be with deletion protection on. Also AWS asks you to explicitly type “delete” when you delete things. I’d blame cloud provider for making it too easy to destroy data and not having built-in backups. But t

    I write a bit of TypeScript recently in both VSCode and WebStorm, I also have many years of experience using both tools. Started with VSCode since it lightweight and this is what I use to edit most of the text. Unfortunately VSCode had trou

    I’m fit but sweat a lot even with moderate physical activity. Same for my father. I guess it depends on your DNA. I’ll sweat in 40C just standing doing nothing.

    And then US government prints trillions of dollars and inflate your savings. Or Russian government locks you USDs while Visa, Mastercard and sanctions make it impossible to move money out of the country. Or ask Belorussians and Argentinians

    I would say otherwise. Some basic things that come to mind - db snapshots that works - S3 - Cloud Trail - know who and when access a server and what commands they enter in their SSH session. - Session Manager - being able to control permis

    They likely overcomplicating things for no good reason. If you can handle their load on a $250 VPS what the heck the are doing with AWS?

    meduza.io is one of a few you can use to get alternative view. They may be somewhat biased towards Russian opposition but way, way more objective compared to state media.

    All true. Same problem with my father. My wife also has the same problem with her father as well.
